They are the stories of the artists themselves and they give us a glimpse at the life they live in the far north. The adventures speak of those things that define their people and their lives…extremes in weather, hunger and hunting, magic and the brutality and beauty of the land. Following each story we can read about the artist, their work and we see an example (in reproduction) of the work that defined their artistic life. The author adds a note about the stories, a useful glossary and a list of works for further reading.
It is always interesting to share personal stories of the people of the North. Their lives hold mystery and magic. As we study other cultures and other places of the world, we become more liberal in our thinking and better members of the global community for the knowledge we now have and can share.
